1.2. Major events in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020

 

1.2.1. Effects arising from COVID 19

 

With the advent of the pandemic COVID-19, Suzano has adopted and has maintained preventive and mitigating measures, in compliance with the rules and policies established by national and international health authorities, in order to minimize as far as possible, the harmful effects of the pandemic of COVID-19, popularly known as the new coronavirus, referring to the safety of people , society and their businesses.

 

Thus Company's initiatives are based on three pillars: (i) protection for people (ii) protection for society and (iii) protection for business.

 

(i) Protection for people: in order to provide security to its employees and third parties who in its operations, Suzano adopted a series of measures aimed at minimizing the exposure of its team and / or mitigating exposure risks.

 

(ii) Protection of society: one of Suzano's three cultural drivers is: “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”. Therefore, from the beginning of the pandemic to the present, the Company has adopted a series of measures to protect society, including:

 

·      Donation of toilet paper, napkins and disposable diapers produced by the Company for needy regions.

 

·      Acquisition of 159 respirators and 1,000,000 hospital masks for donation to the Federal and State Governments.

 

·      Participation in joint action with Positivo Tecnologia, Klabin, Flextronics and Embraer, to support the Brazilian company Magnamed to deliver respirators to the Federal Government until August 2020. Suzano's disbursement in this action was R$ 9,584.

 

·      Construction of a field hospital in Teixeira de Freitas (BA) in conjunction with Veracel, which has already been handed over to the state government and opened in July 2020.

 

·      Establishement a partnership with Fatec of Capão Bonito for the production of gel alcohol.

 

·      Loan of forklifts to move donations received by the Red Cross.

 

·      Maintenance of all direct jobs at this time.

 

·      Maintenance, for 90 days (from March to June 2020) of payment of 100% of the cost of the payroll of service providers' workers who had their activities suspended due to the pandemic, aiming at the consequent preservation of jobs.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information
Six-month period ended June 30, 2020

 

·      Creation of the a support program for small suppliers, a social support program for small farmers to sell their products through the home delivery system in 38 communities supported by Suzano's Rural and Territorial Development Program (“PDRT”) in 5 states and social program with the objective of provide 125,000 masks in communities for donation in 5 states.

 

·      Launch a program to support its portfolio of small and medium-sized paper customers entitled “Tamo Junto” with the objective of ensuring that these companies have the financial and management capacity to resume activities.

 

The disbursements made for carrying out the social actions implemented by Suzano, totaled R$48,024 through June 30, 2020 (Note 29).

 

(iii) Protection for business: to date, the Company continues with its normal operations and a crisis management committee has been implemented.

 

The paper and pulp sector were recognized by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as by several countries, as a producer of goods essential to society. Therefore, in order to fulfill the responsibility arising from the essentiality of the business, Suzano has taken measures to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been advancing its inventories of finished goods product bringing them closer to their customers to mitigate possible risks of disruption in the factories' supply chain and the sale of their products.

 

The current situation resulting from the coronavirus also implies a higher credit risk, especially for its customers in the paper business. Thus, the Company has also been monitoring the evolution of this risk and implementing measures to mitigate it, and so far, there has been no significant financial impact.

 

Due to the social isolation measures adopted in Brazil and in several countries around the world, causing schools and offices to close, for example, the demand for printing and writing papers was reduced. In light of this situation, as announced by paper producers in several countries around the world, Suzano decided to temporarily reduce its paper production volume. As previously disclosed in the quarterly information for the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company temporarily stopped production at the paper production lines of the Mucuri and Rio Verde units. However, the activities of the factories were resumed at the beginning of July 2020.

 

Finally, it is also worth noting that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made and maintained a vast communication effort to further increase the interaction with its main stakeholders, with the objective of guaranteeing the adequate transparency and flow of information with the them in a timely manner to the dynamics of the social and economic conjuncture.

3.1. New accounting policies and changes in the accounting policies adopted

 

3.1.1. Translation into currency presentation

 

Due to the merger with Fibria, the Company had several changes in the structure, activities and operations during 2019 that led management to conclude that they needed to reassess the functional currency of its subsidiaries whose functional currency was different from Brazilian Reais.

 

Those facts resulted in the corporate reorganization, as well as, it has impacted how management conducted the Company's business in order to achieve the alignment between the cultures of the two Companies, the unification of processes, operating, tax systems and strategies, through synergy gains arising from the business combination. In this process some of Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries were considered an extension of the activities of the parent company.

 

These circumstances collectively justify the change in the functional currency to Brazilian Real and they have occurred gradually during 2019, therefore it was not practicable to determine the date of the change at a precise point during the reporting period. Thus, the Company changed the functional currency of those wholly-owned subsidiaries as of January 1, 2020.

The cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) arising from the translation of a foreign operation previously recognized in other comprehensive income will not be reclassified from equity to profit or loss until the disposal of the operations. The total or partial disposal of interest in wholly-owned subsidiaries occurs through sale or dissolution, of all or part of operation.

 

Therefore, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency was different from Brazilian Reais in 2019, were translated using the criteria established below:

 

(i) assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period-end;

 

(ii) revenues and expenses are translated based on the monthly average rate;

 

(iii) the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized as accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments component of other comprehensive income.

 

And as from January 1, 2020, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the following criteria:

 

(i) monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period-end;

 

(ii) non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;

 

(iii) revenues and expenses are translated based on monthly average rate;

 

(iv) the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized in the other comprehensive income period-end.

 

3.1.2. Business combination – IFRS 3

 

This pronouncement was amended and clarifies definition of a “business”. It is also permitted a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a group of assets rather than a business. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any material impacts.

 

3.1.3. Presentation of financial statements – IAS 1 and Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors – IAS 8

 

This pronouncement was amended and clarifies definition of a “material” and how it should be applied by (i) including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards; (ii) improving the explanations accompanying the definition; and (iii) ensuring that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any material impacts.

3.1.4. Conceptual framework for financial reporting

 

This pronouncement was amended and includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts, the main changes are set forth below:

 

(i) the objective of financial reporting describes the objective of general purpose financial reporting, the information needed to achieve that objective and who uses the financial reports. The term “stewardship” was reintroduced, in order to clarify its meaning and defining the information needed to assess management’s stewardship and separates this from the information that users need to assess the prospects of the entity’s future net cash flows. Both types of information are required to provide information that is useful for making decisions about providing resources to the entity, and therefore achieves the objective of financial reporting.

 

(ii) qualitative characteristics of useful financial information: the concepts of prudence and substance over form were reintroduced. It was also defined the concept of measurement uncertainty in assessing the usefulness of financial information, since in some cases, relevant information may have a high level of measurement uncertainty, which may reduce its usefulness. Slightly less relevant information with a lower measurement uncertainty may be preferable in such case.

 

(iii) financial statements and the reporting entity: describes about new concepts, in which it is clarified the scope and objective of financial statements and also provides a description of the reporting entity.

 

(iv) the elements of financial statements: the definitions of assets and liabilities were revised and the definitions of income and expenses were updated accordingly, as set forth below:

 

Previous definition   New definition

Asset: A resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

 

 Asset: A present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events.

An economic resource is a right that has the potential to produce economic

benefits.

     
The new definition clarifies that an asset is an economic resource, and that the potential economic benefits no longer need to be “expected” to flow to the entity. Thus, they do not need to be certain or even likely, but if this is the case, the recognition and measurement of the asset may be affected.
     

Liability: A present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic

benefits.

  Liability: A present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information
Six-month period ended June 30, 2020

  

The main difference is that the new definition clarifies that a liability is the obligation to transfer an economic resource, and not the ultimate outflow of economic benefits. The outflow also no longer needs to be ‘expected’, similar to the change in the definition of an asset, above. It was also introduced the concept of ‘no practical ability to avoid’ to the definition of an obligation, and factors used to assess this will depend on the nature of an entity’s duty or responsibility, which requires the use of judgement.
     
Income: increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets, or decreases of liabilities, that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants.  

 Income: Increases in assets, or decreases in liabilities, that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from holders of

equity claims.

     
Expense: Decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets, or incurrences of liabilities, that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants.  

Expense: Decreases in assets, or increases in liabilities, that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to holders of

equity claims.

 

(v) recognition and derecognition: the criteria for recognizing assets and liabilities in the financial statements were reviewed. The pronouncement states that recognition is only appropriate if it results in both relevant information about the element being recognized, and faithful representation of that element. On the other hand, derecognition should aim to faithfully represent those assets and liabilities retained after the transaction, if any, and any change in assets and liabilities as a result of the transaction that led to the derecognition.

 

(vi) measurement: new guidance was introduced about measurement bases and provide factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis. Therefore, two categories of measurement basis were identified:

 

· historical cost:

 

· current value: which comprises fair value, value in use of assets and fulfilment value for liabilities and current cost.

 

(vii) Presentation and disclosure: the concepts were reviewed (i) how information should be presented and disclosed in financial statements (ii) classifying income and expenses in the statement of income and (iii) whether and when income and expenses included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) should subsequently be recycled to statement of income. Additionally, reinforces that statement of income is the primary source of information about the entity’s financial performance.

 

(viii) concepts of capital and capital maintenance: describes the concepts of capital and capital maintenance and profit determination and adjustments for capital maintenance, the content of this item has not changed.

 

The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any material impacts.

3.2. Lease – CPC 06 (R2) / IFRS 16

 

This pronouncement was changed as a result of benefits related to Covid-19 granted to lessee under lease agreements. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impacts, for the clauses of the current lease agreements remained unchanged.

 

3.3. New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet in force

The Management considers that for its other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, its book values ​​approximate to their fair values ​​and therefore the information on their fair values ​​is not being presented.

 

4.2. Liquidity risk

 

As disclosed in note 4 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2019, the Company’s purpose is maintaining a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating obligations. The amount held as cash is used for payments expected in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus amount is invested in highly liquid financial investments according Cash Management Policy.

 

The cash position is monitored by the Company’s senior management, by means of management reports and participation in performance meetings with determined frequency. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the impacts in cash and marketable securities were as expected and the Company believes that, eventually, the crisis scenario caused by the COVID-19 pandemic would be extend and the Brazilian Reais keep devalued against the U.S. Dollar, adjustments of derivative instruments that will mature in the coming months will be offset by higher cash generation, exceeding the cost of any adjustments to the respective due date.

 

As material fact disclosed to the market on February 14, 2020, the Company, voluntarily prepaid the principal amount of U.S.$750,000 (equivalent, on the transaction date, to R$3,240,229), related to an export prepayment, with quarterly interest payments of 1.15% p.a. plus quarterly LIBOR, which was scheduled to mature in February 14, 2023. At the same time, the Company entered into a new transaction related to an export prepayment in the amount of U.S.$850,000 (equivalent, on the transaction date, to R$3,672,259), of 1.15% p.a. plus quarterly LIBOR, which was scheduled to mature in February 13, 2026. Furthermore, as material fact disclosed to the market on February 28, 2020, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd. (“Suzano Trading”) exercised its right to redeem all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% senior notes issued by it and guaranteed by Suzano due 2021 (“2021 Notes”) currently outstanding, in the total aggregate principal amount of U.S.$189,630.

 

Such transactions were performed under market conditions, considered attractive by the Company, and even though they were carried out before the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, they were in line with the debt management strategy based on cost reduction and extension of the term portfolio, thus reinforcing our liquidity position.

 

In line with the material fact disclosed to the market on March 30, 2020, there was a disbursement of U.S.$500,000 (equivalent, on the transaction date, to R$2,638,221) of its revolving credit facility maintained with certain financial institutions, of 1.30% plus quarterly LIBOR and maturity in February 2024. The disbursement is in line with the preventive measures that the Company has been taking to mitigate eventual impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and aims to bring even more strength to the liquidity position of the Company. The funds were credited on April 1, 2020.

4.3.1. Trade accounts receivable and advances to supplier

 

As a result of the crisis caused by COVID-19, the Company started to accept requests for the extension of customer invoices, limiting these postponements to those invoices close to maturity, with due interest charges.

 

 

 

 

Suzano S.A.
 
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information
Six-month period ended June 30, 2020

 

Most of the customers who requested extension are related to the domestic market in the paper segment and do not represent a significant amount compared to the Company's total accounts receivable.

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company observed in the domestic customers of the paper segment, a more accentuated behavior of delays caused by the COVID-19 crisis. However, internal analyzes and credit metrics do not demonstrate that these delays may have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity position. There was also an increase in delays in Latin America, however, for this region, the Company has credit insurance policies that mitigate most of the possible risks arising from the default of its customers.

 

All policies aimed at mitigating the possible risks arising from the default of its customers were maintained, as well as the collection policies and procedures. Moreover, the policy of expected credit losses normally follows, without any changes.

 

4.3.2. Banks and financial institutions

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, there were no significant changes in the credit risk management policies and procedures related to bank and financial institutions compared to those reported in note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2019.

 

4.4. Market risk management

 

In the six-month period ended June, 2020, there were no significant changes in the market risk management policies and procedures compared to those reported in note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2019.

4.4.1.1. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – except financial instruments derivatives

 

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to jointly evaluate assets and liabilities positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts recognized, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian Reais on the base date of the balance sheet (R$ to U.S.$ = R$5.4760).

 

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S.$. at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes.

 

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

    Probable     Possible
(25%)

Trade accounts receivable     2,891,501       722,875       1,445,751  
Trade accounts payable     (491,805 )     (122,951 )     (245,903 )
Loans and financing     (63,817,265 )     (15,954,316 )     (31,908,633 )
Liabilities for asset acquisitions and subsidiaries     (401,273 )     (100,318 )     (200,637 )

 

4.4.1.2. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – financial instruments derivatives

 

As disclosed in note 4 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company contracts sales operations of U.S. Dollar in the futures markets, including strategies with options, in order to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. These operations are limited to a percentage of the net foreign exchange surplus over the 18-month horizon and, therefore, are attached to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

 

Due to pandemic COVID-19 and the effects on all global economies during the first semester, financial markets have experienced volatility throughout the period with a strong sense of aversion to risk, with a consequent substantial devaluation of the Real against the U.S. Dollars.

 

For the calculation of mark-to-market (“MtM”) the PTAX of the penultimate business day of the quarter was used, in December 2019 it was R$4.0307 and in June 2020 it was R$5.4416, with an increase of 35%. These market movements caused a negative impact on the mark-to-market hired hedge position.

 

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S.$. at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, from the base scenario of June 30, 2020.

It is important to mention that the impact caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate, whether positive or negative, will also affect the hedged asset. Therefore, even though there was a negative impact on the fair value of derivative transactions in the last quarters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this impact was offset by the positive impact on the Company's cash flow. In addition, considering that hedge contracts are limited by the policy in a maximum of 75% of the total exposure in U.S. Dollars, the exchange rate devaluation will always benefit, in a net way, the Company's cash generation.

 

The following table set forth the potential impacts assuming these scenarios:

4.4.2. Interest rate risk management

 

Fluctuations in interest rates may imply effects of increased or reduced costs on new loans and operations already contracted.

 

The Company is constantly looking for alternatives for the use of financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flow.

 

Considering the extinction of LIBOR over the next few years, the Company is evaluating its contracts with clauses that envisage the discontinuation of the interest rate. Most debt contracts linked to LIBOR have some clause to replace this rate with a reference index or equivalent interest rate and, for contracts that do not have a specific clause, a renegotiation will be carried out between the parties. Derivative contracts linked to LIBOR provide for a negotiation between the parties for the definition of a new rate or an equivalent rate will be provided by the calculation agent.

 

In the next few years, until the extinction of LIBOR, the Company will work to reflect an equivalent replacement fee in all its contracts.

 

4.4.2.1. Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates – except financial instruments derivatives

 

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that variations in operations impacted by the rates: Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Special System for Settlement and Custody ("SELIC") and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may have on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the best estimate of the Management.

4.4.2.3. Sensitivity analysis for changes in the consumer price index of the US economy

 

For the measurement of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (US-CPI) was considered on December 31, 2019. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering an appreciation/depreciation of 25 % and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively, in absolute amounts.

4.4.3. Commodity price risk management

 

The Company is exposed to commodity prices that reflect mainly on the pulp sale price in the foreign market. The dynamics of opening and closing production capacities in the global market and the macroeconomic conditions may have an impact on the Company´s operating results.

 

Through a specialized team, the Company monitors the pulp price and analyses future trends, adjusting the forecast which that aims to assisting preventive measures to properly conduct the different scenarios. There is no liquid financial market to sufficiently mitigate the risk of a material portion of the Company's operations. Price protection operations cellulose available on the market have low liquidity and volume and large distortion in price formation. No relevant changes were observed in relation to pulp prices and future markets related to this index due to the crisis caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

 

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, which is reflected on logistical costs for selling to the export market. In this case, the Company assess, when comprehend necessary, hiring derivative financial instruments to set oil price. The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the global demand for oil and its derivatives, which caused a substantial devaluation of the prices of these assets in the spot and future markets, during the first quarter of 2020. In this context, and considering attractive market conditions, the Company increased its oil hedge position in line with its hedge strategy and policies and set a good part of its exposure at levels below the estimated price levels for the 2020 budget.

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, a contracted position to hedge its logistics costs was purchased in the amount of U.S.$87,486 (U.S.$ 0.364 as of December 31, 2019).

4.5. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company determines the fair value of derivative contracts, which differ from the amounts realized in the event of early settlement due to bank spreads and market factors at the time of quotation. The amounts presented by the Company are based on an estimate using market factors and use data provided by third parties, measured internally and compared to calculations performed by external consultants.

 

Details of derivative financial instruments and their respective calculation methodologies are disclosed in note 4 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The current contracts and the respective protected risks are set forth below:

 

I. Swap CDI x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging the variation in the Interbank Deposit rate (“DI”) for a fixed rate in United States Dollars (“US $”). The objective is to change the debt index in Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

 

II. Swap IPCA x CDI: positions in conventional swaps exchanging variation of the Nacional Index of Price to the Ample Comsumer (“IPCA”) for DI rate. The objective is to change the debt index in Reais, in compliance with the Company's cash position in Reais, which is also indexed to DI.

 

III. IPCA swap x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging variation of the IPCA for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the debt index in Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

 

IV. Swap LIBOR x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging post-fixed rate (LIBOR) for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to protect the cash flow from changes in the US interest rate.

IX. Swap US-CPI:The embedded derivative refers to sale swap contracts of variations of US-CPI within the terms of the forest partnership and standing wood supply contracts.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the financial markets and, consequently, caused increased volatility throughout the first semester, devaluing the Real against the US Dollar by 35%, as previously mentioned. The variation in the fair value of derivatives for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the fair value measured on December 31, 2019 is explained substantially by this significant devaluation of the local currency. There were also less significant impacts caused by the variation in the Pre, Foreign Exchange Coupon and LIBOR curves in transactions.

 

It is important to highlight that, the outstanding agreements in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, are over-the-counter market, without any kind of guarantee margin or early settlement clause forced by changes from mark to market, including possible variations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The impact of these factoring transactions on the accounts receivable in the balance sheet for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, is R$4,968,024 (R$3,544,625 as of December 31, 2019).

Current     888,245       997,201  
Non-current     712,279       708,914  

 

1) Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Social Security Funding Contribution (“COFINS”): Credits whose realization is in connection with depreciation year of the corresponding asset.

 

2) The Company filed legal actions claiming the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS contribution tax basis, in relation to certain operations for certain periods starting from March 1992.

 

Regarding this subject, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) initially decided on March 15th, 2017, that ICMS is not included in the tax basis of the aforementioned contributions. The Federal Government made an appeal (“Embargos de Declaração”) in October 2017, requesting the reversal of the Supreme Court’s initial decision among other items. The appeal has yet to be judged.

 

Based on the Supreme Court’s initial decision and the legal opinion provided by external legal consultants, the Company believes that the probability of the Supreme Court altering its decision is remote. The Company thus started to exclude the ICMS from the tax basis of the referred contributions since August 2018, a practice also supported by court decisions.

 

For certain PIS and COFINS credits to be recovered, the Company has received final favorable court decisions. The balance recognized in the statement of income (loss) in 2019 within other operational results, regarding certain claims for the calculation period from 2006 to July 2018. The Company has estimated the amount attributable to these claims based on the available relevant fiscal documents, and this amount is subject to adjustments to be recorded by management in the future periods.

 

The Company has additional claims for which a final decision has not been received and for which no asset or gain have been recorded.

 

3) Tax on Sales and Services (“ICMS”): Credits from the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are recovered on a linear basis over a four period, from the acquisition date, in accordance with the relevant regulation, ICMS Control on Property, Plant and Equipment (“CIAP”).

 

4) ICMS credits accrued due to the volume of exports and credit generated in operations of entry of products: Credits are concentrated in the state of Maranhão, Espírito Santo, Bahia and Mato Grosso do Sul, where the Company realizes the credits through sale of credits to third parties, after approval from the State Ministry of Finance. Credits are also being realized through consumption in its consumer goods (tissue) operations in the domestic market that are already operational in Maranhão.

 

5) Special Regime of Tax Refunds for Export Companies ("Reintegra"): Reintegra is a program that aims to refund the residual costs of taxes paid throughout the exportation chain to taxpayers, to make them more competitive in foreign markets.

 

6) Includes the provision for discount on sale to third parties of the accumulated ICMS credit in Maranhão and the provision for full loss of the low probability of realization of the units of Espírito Santo, Bahia and Mato Grosso do Sul due to the difficulty of its realization.

12. INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

 

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Brazil are subject to the tax regime based on taxable income. The wholly-owned subsidiaries located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

 

In Brazil, the Law nº. 12,973/14 revoked article 74 of Provisional Measure nº.2,158/01 and determines that the parcel of the adjustment of the value of the investment in wholly-owned subsidiary, direct and indirect, located abroad, equivalent to the profit earned by it before income tax, except for exchange rate variation, must be added in the determination of taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis of the controlling entity located in Brazil, at the each period ended.

 

Management’s Company believes on the validity of the provisions of international treaties entered into Brazil to avoid double taxation. In order to guarantee its right to non-double taxation, the Company filed a lawsuit in April 2019, which aims at a non-double taxation, in Brazil, of profit earned by its wholly-owned subsidiary located in Austria, according to Law n°. 12,973/14. Due to the preliminary injunction granted in favor of the Company in the records of the aforementioned lawsuit, the Company decided to not to add the profit from Suzano International Trading GmbH, located in Austria, in determining of taxable income and social contribution basis of the net profit of the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. There is no provision for tax related to the profit of such wholly-owned subsidiary in 2020.

2) Benefit used to reduce 75% of the tax calculated based on the operating profit of the Mucuri / BA and Imperatriz / MA facilities.

 

3) The Brazilian thin capitalization rules establish that interest paid or credited by a Brazilian entity to a related party may only be deducted for income tax purposes if the interest expense is viewed as necessary for the activities of the local entity and when determined limits and requirements are met. On June 30, 2020 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements, therefore a provision for tax payment was recorded.

 

4) Income tax deduction amount referring to the use of the PAT (“Worker Feeding Program”) benefit and donations made in cultural and sports projects.

The rollforward of biological assets is set forth below:

 

Balances on December 31, 2018     4,935,905  
Business combination     4,579,526  
Addition     2,849,039  
Depletion     (1,905,118 )
Gain on fair value adjustment     185,399

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company reassessed the main assumptions used in measuring the fair value of biological assets. The fair value of forests is determined by the income method (“income approach”) using the discounted cash flow model.

 

   

 

 

Suzano S.A.
 
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information
Six-month period ended June 30, 2020

  

The calculation of fair value of the biological assets falls under Level 3 in the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13 — Measurement of Fair Value, due to the complexity and structure of calculation.

 

The main assumptions, IMA, discount rate, and selling price stand out as being the most sensitive where increases or reductions in these assumptions generate significant gains or losses in the measurement of fair value.

 

The assumptions used in measurement of the fair value of biological assets were:

 

i) Average cycle of forest formation of 6 and 7 years;

 

ii) Effective area of forest from the 3rd year of planting;

 

iii) Average annual increment consists of the estimated volume of production of wood with bark in m3 per hectare, ascertained based on the genetic material used in each region, silvicultural practices and forest management, production potential, climate factors and ground conditions;

 

iv) The estimated average standard cost per hectare includes expenses on silvicultural and forest management applied to each year of formation of the biological cycle of forests, plus costs of land lease agreements and opportunity cost of own land;

 

v) The average gross selling prices of eucalyptus were based on specialized research on transactions carried out by the Company with independent third parties and/or weighted by the cost of formation plus cost of capital plus estimated margin for regions where there is no market benchmark available; and

 

vi) The discount rate used in cash flows is measured based on capital structure and other economic assumptions in an independent market participant in the sale of standing wood (forests).

 

The following table discloses the measurement of the premises adopted:

 

   

June 30,
2020

 
Planted useful area (hectare)     960,109  
Mature assets     107,861  
Immature assets     852,248  
Average annual growth (IMA) – m3/hectare/year     36.16  
Average gross sale price of eucalyptus – R$/m3     66.86  
Discount rate - %     8.6 %

 

The pricing model considers net cash flows, after deduction of taxes on profit at the applicable rates.

The fair value adjustment recognized in year ended June 30, 2020 is justified by variation of indicators mentioned above, which combined resulted in a positive variation of R$173,733. The fair value adjustment was recognized under other operating income (expense), net.

 

   

June 30,

Physical changes     384,574  
Price     (210,841 )
      173,733  

 

The Company manages the financial risks related to agricultural activities in a preventive manner. To reducing risks from edaphoclimatic factors, the weather is monitored through meteorological stations and, in the event of pests and diseases, our Department of Forestry Research and Development, an area specialized in physiological and phytosanitary aspects, has procedures to diagnose and act rapidly against any occurrences and losses.

 

The Company has no biological assets pledged in the year ended June 30, 2020.

30. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In connection with the announcement to the market made on March 30, 2020, the Company announces that it carried out on August 13, 2020 the notice of its intention to pay the revolving credit facility in the amount of US$500,000 (equivalent, on the transaction date, to R$2,638,221) which was withdrawn on April 1, 2020, at the cost of LIBOR + 1.30% p.a., with an average term of 47 months and maturity in February 2024. The settlement is scheduled for August 20, 2020 and such resources are fully available as a source of additional liquidity for the Company, if necessary.

 

Suzano considers that, due the greater visibility of possible impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in its business environment and its robust cash position, the withdrawal of its revolving credit facility line is no longer necessary. It is important mentioning that such settlement will allow greater efficiency in the Company's cash management.
